Deutsche Schule Melbourne (DSM) is an accredited German School Abroad which opened in 2008. The school offers bilingual education for primary school children up to Year 6 and is in Fitzroy North, a northern suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
History
DSM was established in 2008 on the site of the former St Joseph's College, which was the earliest founding school of Samaritan Catholic College.
School model
Teaching is based on a one teacher-one language approach, in which teachers only conduct classes in their native-language, be it German or English. All teachers at DSM are bilingual in English and German. The curriculum of Deutsche Schule Melbourne fulfills the requirements of both the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS) and Thüringen curricula. Students learn to read and write in German and English concurrently. In Year 1 and 2, 80% of classes are taught in German. The proportion of classes taught in English gradually increases so that by Year 6 it will amount to approximately 50% of teaching time. From 2025, Deutsche Schule Melbourne will expand into secondary education.

| The Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) classifies the Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney Japanese schools as nihonjin gakkō (Japanese international schools) as they are operated by Japanese associations. The former South Queensland Academy was classified as a shiritsu zaigai kyōiku shisetsu (overseas branches of Japanese private schools) and was the only Japanese school in Australia to offer senior high school-level education. The Russian Embassy School only serves primary school. | |
